Attaching audio notes

Audio notes can be created from existing *.wav files. You can also record an audio note using any microphone that works with your computer. Many computers have a built-in microphone. If you do not have a microphone and you record an audio note, the audio note will contain no sound.

An audio note icon displays on entities that have attached audio notes. The icon is for display only and cannot be selected.

To record and attach an audio note to entities

1. Do one of the following:
   • Choose Tools > Audio Note.
   • On the Tools toolbar, click the Audio Note tool ().
   • Type audionote and then press Enter.
2. Select the desired entities, and then press Enter.
3. Choose Record.
4. Click Record to begin the audio note, and then speak into the microphone.
5. Click Stop to end the audio note.
6. To test the audio note, click Test, and then use Pause and Stop in the Test Audio Note area.
7. If necessary, you can record the audio note again. This overwrites the previous audio note for the entities you selected in Step 2.
8. Click Attach.

TIP To modify an audio note after you attach it to an entity, select the entity and re-record the audio note using the previous steps.
